The Scroll of Resurrection program is being retired on February 18th--it's your last chance to get Spectral Gryphon and Spectral Wind Rider. We have a dedicated thread to help match you together located here. Feel free to use it while you still can!

The time has come to bid adieu to the Scroll of Resurrection. It’s served its divine purpose, but like most scrolls, it only has so many charges before it loses its magic and crumbles into ethereal dust. For those who’d still like a chance to use the scroll, you have until February 18 before players are no longer able to send invitations. For those who have an invitation outstanding, that’s still good for 30 days from the time it was sent, after which point the invitation will expire and the benefits can no longer be claimed.

Accessing Old LFRs and Scenarios in Warlords

An interesting problem with LFR that's overshadowed by the group dynamics or difficulty level is that LFR contain

The Scroll of Resurrection program received some updates today for Mists of Pandaria, in light of players leveling Monks. Low-level Pandaren cannot receive Scroll of Resurrection rewards, all Monks will be ineligible for rewards, and talents will no longer be preselected.

However, Zarhym clarified that Monks will still be able to take full advantages of RAF bonuses as well as remain eligible for realm firsts. In addition there's no news about the mount rewards being removed anytime soon: Spectral Gryphon and Spectral Wind Rider.

Pet lovers should also rejoice, as Fox Kit will be purchasable for 0 Tol Barad Commendation on live servers soon. Blizzard Game Designer Jonathan LeCraft tweeted this image yesterday, along with the message "Just added the fox kit to some vendors... #wow." The grind was very punishing before, so this change is great news--plus, it will breathe some life back into Tol Barad.

There's also been an unusually large amount of class feedback on the beta forums. Of particular note: has been significantly changed: "The net result will be that

Here's some other April Fool's posts we really liked from around the web:

So how did you like all our grandios announcements yesterday? All nonsense you think? Okay, okay, we admit it: Yes, they were April Fool's pranks. But don't you wish they were real? To let you in on the fun we had yesterday and make sure you didn't miss any of our carefully crafted jokes, we list all of them again in this thread for you to check out. Which of them did you like best?

We're sitting on a lot of Mists of Pandaria information and I really am having a hard time keeping it in. Since I can't hit publish yet, though, have a cute Noxy comic hot off the presses instead.

Noxy also asked me to request that anyone who wants to help write future comics should reach out here in this thread. She'd love to produce more of these so she needs a comic writer. And I think we all agree more Noxy art is always a good thing, so help her out!

Scroll of Resurrection Clarifications

<div class="detail"><p>We recently re-launched the <a href="http://us.battle.net/wow/en/services/scroll-of-resurrection/" target="_blank">World of Warcraft Scroll of Resurrection</a>&#160;with new mounts, instant character boosts to level 80, free upgrades to <em>Cataclysm</em> for players who don’t own all the expansions, and much more. Today, we’d like to take a look at so

When those spectral mounts made the rounds a couple of months ago, we all wondered when they'd show up. It turns out they're for Scroll of Resurrection's revamp!

Players who revive another person's previously inactive account will receive a spectral mount based on their faction. Meanwhile, the player who accepts a Scroll will get an even sweeter deal:

A single character boosted to 80

A free character move and faction change

Seven days of free game time

And last, but not least, a free upgrade to Cataclysm

This is pretty big, and I imagine many of you have accounts of your own you'll want to resurrect--good thing you can! As long as an account has been inactive since before March 4th, 2012 you're eligible to be brought back into Azeroth for these goodies.

With the recent Post Mortem on Dungeons and Raids, as well as the blog on stat changes, there's been a lot of discussion on all the changes--the blue responses today cover a lot of controversial decisions on these topics.

But on to the really exciting news: it looks like there's a new Scroll of Resurrection program! It was accessible on live servers earlier today (via your Real ID list), but looks to be down for maintenance now. It's a pretty sweet deal to draw your friends back in--the recruited friend gets a free faction change, server transfer, and copy of Cataclysm, as well as a character instantly boosted to 80. This could explain all those ilvl 232 armor pieces and weapons we datamined back in 4.3--like the Zealous Armor--your fresh 80 will need some new gear.
